Compound bows

If you are looking to buy a compound bow or already have one and thinking on upgrading to a new compound bow, then the most common thing for people to get stuck on is by far FPS.

Every year a new compound bow is designed by some of the leading compound bow makers and the speeds that these new compound bows produce are boosted yet again.

This can become a bit distracting, mainly because even though there are some really good compound bows out there that get some serious FPS you should not compromise and get a more powerfull compound bow than you can handle.

To get really high FPS you need either a long draw length or a light arrow. If you don't have the strength and can't pull your compound bow then there is really no point in having that extra bit of FPS gain.

Hunters going out in the field if unlucky can injure their arm if they try and pull a heavy compound bow and don't have the strength while in awkward positions. Many times you need to hold that bow in position for a long time too. So that is something you really need to think about too. Are you sure you are going to go out and have a good time and get back safe with your new compound bow?

I know there is a lot to discuss about what compound bows suit you but I would really recommend that you go over all the different things you are planning to do with your new compound bow beforhand and then take that into account when the time comes to buy compound bows for yourself and your family..

To me, good compound bows are compound bows that a lot of people can also use and enjoy at the same time. So before you buy your monster compound bow think about that. If you however are planning on buying custom compound bows only for yourself then that's a whole different issue. Because compound bows if you set them up for yourself with your draw lenght and weight then that compound bow is pretty much what you need to commit to. If anyone else would use your compound bow they probably would feel that it's either way to heavy to use or too short of a draw lenght depending on who is using the compound bow at the time.

So in general there is a few more things to take into consideration when you buy compound bows then with other bows. And not only that, there are a few things you need to learn about your new compound bow after the purchase. Like how to maintain and operate your compound bow, what type of arrows and arrow heads are best suited for the bow. Just to name a few things, so there is a bit of learning and getting used to later on after you have bought that new compound bow of yours.
